Reasonable Summer Wine - 86p

July is upon us and the nice sunny days are very welcome. For days like these we have to open a nice cool white wine and this week we have travelled to Austria and popped open a wine based on a grape that typifies Austrian wine.

Domaine Wachau is a popular producer here in Norway and has been a mainstay in Vinmonopolet for a long time. A third of the wines in Austria are made from the Gruner Veltliner grape which is something like a national grape for the Alpine nation, and Domaine Wachau makes some of the best quality wines made with this grape.

Tasting notes:

Dom. Wachau Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Loiben 2021 - 175,- kr
Nice and fruity on the nose, with green apples, gooseberry and citrus. In the mouth good acidity that gives the wine a nice fresh feeling. Citrus, green apples and some spice and nuts are the flavours that dominate. Good length and very easy to drink.
